Books

Books are still a really useful resource for preparing for your exams. They are portable, easy to annotate and contain useful summaries on appropriate topics. All this without the distractions that you find online!

Make sure that your trainers give you as much practical experience as possible during your training. There are several courses run by the BMA and others (see the Courses section). Download as much relevant and up-to-date material as possible from NICE, the College, DoH, etc and browse the medicolegal websites such as MDU.

Make sure you have a structured response to all of the common scenarios and practise at every opportunity. Recent, topical issues are likely to be raised so keep abreast of these.
